Although Ron Prince arrived in Manhattan from Virginia he is very familiar and understanding of the rivalry that exists between the Jayhawks and Wildcats.

Prince is from the state and was a Kansas State fan long before he started his coaching days.

"Obviously, we've been looking forward to this game here for quite a while," Prince said. "This is a game that has been marked on our schedule all year long. It doesn't take a whole lot to know - if you're from this area or on this team - the kind of significance that is going to be paid to the game. I think this is what's great about college football."

Even though this is a big rivalry especially for the fans of Kansas, Prince didn't give anything for the Jayhawks to hang up in their locker rooms. As a matter of fact he says he has liked what he has seen from the Jayhawks on film.

"This is a very good team that we are going to face," Prince said. "This team is a big, strong team and I'm very impressed with them."
